"Amazing! We booked a lesson each day we spent in Arugambay and it was definitely worth it. We were picked up from our hotel with all equipment, no hassle… And the teachers were great at explaining the technique and helped us to progress quickly. Definitely recommend!"
"Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Arugam Bay and excellent surf lessons! Ansa and Finl are the best teachers, super professional and super fun! 🤩"
"I had a great experience with the surf lessons definitely worth the price! Ansa taught me a lot, and the entire team was incredibly polite and dedicated. They really go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable and progressing. A big plus is the free tuk-tuk service to the surf spots, which made everything super convenient. Overall, very happy and highly recommend!"
"Don‘t look further this is the place to be at🤙 If you like it quiet but still central to Arugam Bay and family vibes with cute cats you have to stay some days here. You can spot elephants, peacocks, deers and crocodiles on the way to the surfspots🤩 Ansa, Ibu and Fin were great surfteachers always ready to smile😄 The Yoga of Melin is very relaxing and helps to recover from surfing🧘"
"Good school for beginners who like to learn how to surf. Appreciate Afry and the team making it memorable, relentlessly making us surf 🏄♂️ and having good times in Arugam bay."
"Had a great experience with beginner classes with the star rest surf camp. Ansa made efficient arrangements on two days and Ansa and Fin were good instructors, and focused on safety first. Will sign up for more for sure!"
"My partner and I had 7 nights at the surf camp. Coaches, Ansa and Fin were professional and patient giving us surf lessons. The mornings started with yoga with nosheni. What a lovely way to start a day. Thank you Rauff for the delicious food. The whole experience has made us fall in love with Sri Lanka. We will return."
"I spent a total of 26 days at the camp, 25 of them at the surf camp. I had the best time there and would definitely come back. The host and the surf instructors were incredibly friendly and helpful. Besides surfing, there were also activities like watching the sunset and partying. Thanks to them, I felt right at home. The surf instructors' knowledge was very helpful and professional. Thank you for everything."
"I came to Arugam Bay to take a break and somehow ended up here almost by accident. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I made. The rooms and facilities are simple, but that's not why you come here. You come for the people. This place has a real surf family vibe. Within a day you're sharing waves, playing cards, having a few beers, laughing together, and feeling like you've known everyone for years. A huge thank you to the amazing crew: Cupcake – always there for the early 5:30 am beach drop-offs and afternoon pickups. Thanks for taking such good care of everyone. Ansa – the guy who somehow gets you anywhere you need to go, always with a smile. Ansa– my instructor. Super chilled, patient, and a great teacher. Couldn't have asked for a better surf coach. Ansa & Fin – awesome instructors who made every session fun. And of course, Ansa, the heart of the place. You've built more than a surf camp—you've built a family."
